In recent history, we have realized that the small Perl script that
generates the man pages from Markdown is fairly limited.
Two approaches have been considered:
* go-md2man
* pandoc
Here is how pandoc does it:
$ pandoc -f markdown -t man doc/git-annex-shell.mdwn | pastebinit

Both initially fail at setting a proper `.TH` line on top, but
otherwise seem to work more or less correctly. --[[anarcat]]
